IF you come to Any of the major cities, your snot will turn black for the first few days. Thats how much pollution is there.

Indeed, carrying a H&H Royal double barrel shot gun, .700 of course (not loaded though, I have no intent on killing anything). Followed by 6 locals dressed in white carrying 6 custom steamer trunks (including a LV Stokowski, for correspondence and such). Seriously, that would be awesome!

This also happens (or happened to me on a number of occasions) in London.

I live in montreal and when i open my windows, my floors get filthy. If I walk around in my apartment it's inevitable that my socks turn black. It's not like I don't clean either. I wash the floors once a week and it still happens. This makes me look forward to owning a house in a nice green area.

yes, much.


another issue is that the vast majority of people don't have access to plumbing - so you have maybe 800 million people defecating outside.

I lived in Bangalore for about a year. One day on the way to a meeting I mentioned to my Indian partner that I had to piss. He directed our driver to pull over and gestured to a wall of an office building. I explained that I was a little uncomfortable with pissing on the side of a building in the middle of the day--I had only been in India for a short time--so he hopped out of the car, unzipped and proceeded to urinate. I followed suit. After a few moments he turned to me and said, "This is why I couldn't live anywhere else ... you can't piss on the buildings."

Funny enough, India is the one place I would go back to and live. It so gets under your skin.

I once had a guy from my company come out - an englishman of (what I thought) was indian descent. he was middle class, universtiy educated engineer, maybe 35. anyway, it turns out he left india at age 10, and he said he had never used a real toilet until then - he had always **** in a field.


I also once was stopped at a traffic light and saw a girl (maybe 12, maybe 16) squat and **** on the sidewalk right next to my car.
